Biography
Scapha Sejanus was born in Ancona on the eastern shore of Italy, and he was adopted into a patrician family at a young age after his mother died of smallpox and his father died while serving on a trade ship. Sejanus became a member of the Roman nobility, and Sejanus joined the Roman Army. He initially served as a centurion during the wars against the Germanic tribes along the Elbe River, but he was later transferred to Roman Britain, where the Britons were fiercely resisting Roman rule.

In 120 AD, he was given command of a patrol of 130 Roman troops that were sent north from Eburacum to ensure that the city was safe from any Briton attacks. However, a force of Britons led by Micheil MacAoidh ambushed the Romans as they marched into grasslands, and Sejanus led his horsemen into battle with the ambushers. He was killed in the melee that followed, and every man in his unit was killed by the Iceni.
